    Not sure about Toronto but the Futureshops and NCIX's in Vancouver had the msi dragons in that are exact the same thing.

    Canada computers and NCIX sell MSI laptops would contact the stores around you to see if they are displaying

    GT70

    Canada Computers | Notebooks, Netbooks & Tablets | MSI GT70 2OC-008US Gaming Notebook 9S7-176312-008| 17.3" Intel i7-4700MQ 12GB| 750GB| Nvidia GeForce GTX 770M BD DVD/RW BT W8

    GT60

    Canada Computers | Notebooks, Netbooks & Tablets | MSI GT60 2OC-023US Gaming Notebook 9S7-16F411-023| 15.6" Intel i7-4700MQ 8GB 1TB| Nvidia GeForce GTX 770M DVD/RW BT W8

    However, they do not have the one with 780M GPU, only 770M. You can go and have a look at the models (though I do not think they keep opened systems), mostly all of those come in a sealed package and they sell them like that.

    If you for some reason are interested in the model with 780M, I totally recommend to contact Ken from gentechpc.com. I bought mine from him and he is a wonderful person; very polite and takes care of you always, even after you receive your machine (if you have questions / troubles). I totally recommend if you buy from him (if you are determined to buy, call him and talk over the phone with him about all your queries), to let him try your machine before it ships out... Best of luck!

    P.S. I do not work for gentechpc.com or anyone else, just like you I had to find out what to buy and from where (a reliable source) and I had the best experience with him. Because for us in Canada it is very difficult to get this machine from a reliable source, without having problems later on. Even later I bought extra pair of memory and he shipped it to me ASAP.

    I can confirm that Canada computers do have open boxes and at their hamilton store they have a range of laptops out and if you get a helpful assistant you can asked to see some that are still in the box.
    Good luck on your laptop hunt.
